Have you ever done something and thought to yourself, “Oh my gosh, I'm so my mom right now?”
This happens because, things are CAUGHT not TAUGHT. By consistently being in the presence or same environment as someone, you will naturally pick up on their patterns, habits and ways of doing things.
When patterns, habits and ways of doing things are repeated so often they become ingrained and an unconscious pattern or habit. This means you end up doing the same things without even thinking about it!
The same is true when it comes to the parent-child relationship! The parent’s inner voice becomes the outer voice to the child.
The way the parent talks to themselves when they make mistakes, have a bad day, feel anxious or stressed, is unconsciously the way they will talk to their teen when they also have a bad day, are anxious, stressed, or make a mistake.
The expectations a parent has for themselves will also be the unconscious expectations they place on their teen.
You may be thinking, “How can I change that?”
In this episode I will share with you three things that you can implement today to start nurturing yourself and CHANGING the way that you talk to yourself and ultimately your teen.
